Description:

 

Created during Chapter 2 (2020 - 2023), this piece is part of the Versions of Robert Collection—a deeply personal body of work reflecting my journey through my mother’s stroke, dissociation, and eventual dementia. This period of my life involved immense inner soul work, each piece acting as a page in a diary, often accompanied by a poem or story.

 

“The Fire Bird Surrenders” speaks of inner storms, transformation, and the moment of release. The firebird, a mythical symbol of resilience and rebirth, submits to the flames of its own existence, waiting for the moment when the fire will finally set it free.

 

The artwork asks the viewer:

    •    What storms do we hold inside, resisting the inevitable?

    •    Can we find freedom through surrender?

    •    Is destruction always the end, or is it the beginning of something new?

 

A powerful depiction of transformation—letting go, burning away, and embracing the unknown.
